THE B. 4 o.

brought the once great Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company to humilia-
ton, and the once powerful name Of
Garrett disappears from the roll Of
railroad kings. All that the father
strove for so industriousiy and so Pc
nuriously, and all that the sons am
bition sought to add tothe patnmony
which he was incapable of admins
tering all this is dismembered,
scattered, by the stroke Of pen.
Jay Gould gets what he wants, aud
he takes the express business and
the telegraph line; the PeEnsylva-
mia Railroad Company dips in for
what it wants, and the Pullman in
terest takes the sleeping car fran
chises.
That vast organism which has
been known as the Baltimore & Ohio
is as completely wrecked as though
the earth had opened and gulped it
down. The shares remain, the tracks
and stock, but there is no longer any
Baltimore &Ohio. To this complex
ion has it come through the manage.
ment whose very plumbers were at
one time thought to be the short cuts
to fame of a brilliant and conquering
mind.
If the dead have knowledge OF this
worlds happenings John w. Garrett
will turn over in his grave and groan
in agony. 1t is his own son, the ia
vored child of fortune, who has top
pied over the monument to the la.
bors of his life, the one thing the old
man held almost as dear as life itself.
For scope of opportunities and
/ breadth and depth of destruction,
the fall of the Garrett property is
without parallel.
The change of ownership of one OF
the two trunk lines which have COM
peted for her trade is serious bust
ness for Wheeling. This city is left
entirely dependent on the Penasyl.
vania for great part of her raw
material and so for reaching some
of her most important markets. II
we except the Ohio River Road as a
connecting link with the Huntington
system, and the Cleveland, Lorain 4
Wheeling as an outlet to the lakes
and the Lake Shore Railroad, our
dependence upon the one trunk line
is now absolute. Still we are better
off than Baltimore, which is now nc
longer touched by great railroad
or connection of great railroad
not under Pennsylvania control.
Baltimore holds $4,000 shares, the
State of Maryland 10000, John Hop
kins University 1900, and combln
ed they were not able to avert this
humiliating wrong.
For those communities which have
suddenly been stripped of competi
ton there is this consolation: they
are infinitely better off than though
the Pennsylvania had been absorbed
by the Baltimore & Ohio, if such a
thing were possible. 1t has not been
the policy of the Pennsylvania to re
press, but rather to develop and fos
ter activity where it has sway. Thi:
is an encouragement TO those cities
and towns which have had only the
Baltimore & Ohio to bring them into
communication with the rest of the
/ world.
AS for Wheeling, there is greater
and more urgent need than ever fol
a bridge across the Ohio open to al
railroads, greater need to strengthen
the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
and to complete the Wheeling &
Lake Erie.-Iatelligencer.

CHICAGO, Ills, August San almost
incredible story of how Geo. e Klehm,
president OF the county board, played
the part OF spy upon his associates
throughout the Doodle trial is made
public this a NJ. The gist OF the story is
that Klehm, to save himself from the
penitentisry, agreed to act as
a detective for the states attor-
ney, and serve him with all H.
formation possible regarding the
plans of the bOodlers and their lawyers
during the trial. After that Klehm at
tended all meetings of defendants and
WAS close observer of everything said
and done. State Attorney Grunnell re-
ceived notice OF every plan Of defense,
so much so in fact that no rebuttsl evil
dence could be offered by the boOdlers.
During the examination of the tslesman
for the jury there was kept up
system of correspondence right
IN the court room between Klehm
and Grinnell by means Of almost imper-
ceptable signs, by which the states at
torney was able TO detect whether the
person being examined was a safe"
man or not. Klehms pleading guilty
was a surprise to everybody and the ao-
tion WAS caused by his belief that the
promise of Grinnsll would avail him
nothing II the jury were to adjudge him.
He therefore threw himself on the mercy
OF the Judge.

Natural Gas on the Iowa Line.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug S.-A Times special
from Albert Lea, Minnesota, says: In
vsstigatlOn of the natural gas disoov-
cred few miles west of here shows
that these wells, on different farms,
lately sunk, PRODUCED a flow Of gas that
was immense In value, and which forced
itself into the air distance OF from 10
to 80 feet, producing a roaring that was
heard nearly half mile. When lighted
the gas burned with a great brilliancy
at night, lighting the land around
good distance. Some wells produced
such flow Of gas that they were filled
up az useless and several, now used for
water, pour forth continuous streams OF
gas which. when lighted burned in great
flames. These were tested by prospec-
tors and the existence of an inexhaustl-
bile vein and reservoirs OF natural gas
was indispurably proven. A company
composed of leading citizens has been
formed to operate gas wells on 10000
acres of land.

prove that they voted on the victorious

ask Judge Wurzbach to open the ballot
boxes and to give a certificate az to how

Evolution of Names.

A student Of list of marriages from
IVA to 1914 notices curious evolution
of women's names. The popular names
among our grandmothers were Polly,
Betsy, Sally, Susannah, Abigail and Me-

as we'll as such names as Wealthy, Love,
Charity and Temperance. The favorite
names Of today are such names as An
ME, Alice, Mabel, Jennie and Grace. 1t
might be mentioned that a reaction
against understanding names has al
ready taken place, and we are giving
the names Of Dorothy, Frances, Polly
and Sally to little ones.
